An American point of view on Swedish Music

stockholm

It’s been over a year and I don’t know how many of you are still following me but in that year hiatus I graduated grad school and got married. Now my focus is back, no more bride brain and I’m ready to share some music.

So I’d like to start with this little electro-pop piece from Constine out of Stockholm, Sweden. The song has a rhythmic beat that encapsulates the sweet-sounding vocals that entrance you. As an added bonus after giving the song a listen, let their video hypnotize you.

A few weeks ago I posted “A Million Lux” by Chirping that has quickly become part of my regular listening regime. Yesterday, they released a new song that leaves me anticipating their new album. I’m excited to hear more from these guys.

All it took was someone to light a little fire under my ass to make me want to bring you guys a better blog and an easier way to enjoy the music that I love and hold dear to my heart. I dedicate hours of my time to bringing out what I feel is some of the best music in the world. This blog is my heart, my soul, this “music is my boyfriend”(To quote CSS from Brazil). I will continue to devote hours to bring you sweet sounds for all your pretty ears.

As you seen yesterday, I now have a Spotify account dedicated strictly to Swedes are Sweet. The playlists are divided into each month. I also realized not everyone has access to Spotify and you have to sign up to listen. So I have created a Souncloud account that will have playlists for you to access without having to sign up for their website. The playlists are not completed yet, but I will have them done soon. Please enjoy by clicking the link below.

A quite lovely duo from Göteborg, Snäckan & Pärlan are a beautiful feast for your ears. Melancholy guitar melodies combined with melodic vocals are a true delight. You can also find more music through Rebekah Reinhard’s (the singer) solo page on Soundcloud. I’m including both for your listening pleasure.
